I’m not sure you’re focused on the important question. For example: Who you marry, if you choose to go that route, may very well be the most important decision you’ll ever make.

Putting that aside, based on your question and willingness to put it out there… I would say this: just surrender to what charms you right now. Do you feel drawn toward programming? Follow that. Or math? Follow that. They may not be mutually exclusive.

As you go, stay tuned in to how you feel about the activity in the moment. Not your anxiety about what you think about the future prospects, but just how it feels right now to be doing the thing. That feeling may change over time, and it will guide you if you stay tuned in.
